Instructions
Making Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna is a prompt and straightforward process if you follow these steps:
1. Cook the Noodles: Boil lasagna noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
2. Sauté Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Cook Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes if desired. Cook until shrimp turn pink, approximately 3-4 minutes. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and heavy cream. Bring to a simmer and add Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and additional salt or pepper to taste.
5. Layer Lasagna: In a baking dish, spread a thin layer of the cream sauce on the bottom. Place 3 lasagna noodles over the sauce. Top with half of the shrimp, a third of the mozzarella cheese, and more sauce. Repeat the layers, ending with noodles topped with remaining mozzarella.
6. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Cover the lasagna with foil and bake for 25 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional 15 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
7. Let it Rest: Once baked, allow the lasagna to sit for 30 minutes before slicing. This helps the layers set better for serving.
8. Garnish: Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top before serving for a fresh flavor and appealing look.
By following these steps, you’ll easily create a delicious Garlic Butter Shrimp Scampi Lasagna that will impress anyone lucky enough to taste it.
